My research is focused on the
relationship between the structure and functioning of
stream ecosystems, such as the role of channel complexity
in nutrient retention, or the relationship between algal
biomass and ecosystem metabolism. I have applied this
perspective to study the effect of multiple human
activities, from forestry to water abstraction or global
climate change, on the functioning of stream ecosystems. I
am also interested in river restoration projects and in
management of riparian areas.
